WELCOME WEDNESDAY NOTESPeak Participation Program: When a resident lifestyle volunteer-led activity is nearing full participation, the Recreation & Parks Department has guidelines in place to assist the volunteers and participants in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. For example, numbers are issued for admission, and when all the numbers are taken, the program is closed. To view a copy of these guidelines, please visit www.districtgov.org. To help present more programs to more residents, live video streaming is being used in some recreation centers.

Think Safety! As the number of residents increase in The Villages this time of year, please take a moment to ensure you are protecting yourself and others when travelling throughout the community at night. If you are walking or biking, wearing light and reflective clothing make it much easier for you to be seen in the evening and early morning hours. Carrying a flashlight or other flashing light will also make you more visible to vehicles traveling the community. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and when enjoying the multi-modal paths, SHARE the path with your fellow Villagers. Please take a moment to review some of the additional educational and safety materials we have available on www.DistrictGov.org pertaining to safety on the multi-modal paths and on golf carts.
